Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even
for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
th
ere is a risk of fire. The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this
(for example in the case of painting in
an oven
) could damage the components of
th
e electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied b
y the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low
fuel warning lamp
i
s not on.
ADDITIONAL HEATING


Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and separate s
ystem
which heats the Diesel en
gine hot coolant
loop to make starting easier.
It improves the demistin
g and defrosting
performance. Vehicles fitted with an HDi
engine may be fitted with a heater. When
t
he engine is at idle or the vehicle is
stationary, it is normal to notice a high-
pitched whistling noise and a slight emission
of smoke and odour.

Rear suspension

Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to
guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empt
y.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are com
plied with.irrespective o
f the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values.
On board,
the increasin
g or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's plat
form is detected by two
hei
ght sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
hei
ght correction and determine the optimum
hei
ght of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.

Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation o
f
automatic re
gulation is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION
You must deactivate automatic height
correction manually in the following
situations:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Two t
ypes of suspension are available.

If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle

1 - Automatic correction of the
height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
re
gulates the variations in the height of the
rear plat
form of your vehicle.
A red warning light on your
instrument panel
fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive slowl
y
until this warning lamp goes off.
The automatic hei

Two functions

ABS
ABS
Driving safely
HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
PEUGEOT. If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Seat belts

Height adjustment

Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver's seat side and
on the individual passenger seat side.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench,
the height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.


Unfastening

Press the red button.

SEAT BELTS


Good practice

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.

Fastening

Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Driver's seat belt not fastened warning
light

Passenger seat belt not fastened warning
light When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the driver
has not fastened his seat belt.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front
passenger seat, when the vehicle
is started, this warning light
comes on if the passenger has not
fastened his seat belt.
